OVEN BAKED PORK CHOPS
These oven baked pork chops are tender with a flavor you and your family or guests will enjoy. The sweetness of the molasses combined with the brown sugar and spicy mustard make the perfect flavor combination. Serve these to family for an easy weeknight dinner or to guests for a main dish company meal. These baked pork chops go with just about any vegetable side dish. I love serving my recipe for sweet cornbread mini muffins with these baked chops because they go so well with most pork dishes. I am a big fan of any kind of pork and we have lots of recipes on the site. Just type what you are looking for in the search box on any page and they should come up for you and Enjoy!
Oven Baked Pork Chops simple ingredients:
Boneless pork chops
Brown sugar
Dijon mustard
Worcestershire sauce
Molasses
Minced garlic
Egg
Salt
Pepper
Bread crumbs of your choice or all-purpose flour
I always like to cook my pork on 350 degrees and I do 30 minutes per pound, or until the center reaches 145 degrees. I test my meat with a meat thermometer. Pork cooks pretty quickly so it’s good to take it out and test it at around 25 minutes.
Each time we post this recipe we receive comments asking if you can replace the molasses with honey, maple syrup or corn syrup. You can always give it a try. We only make the recipes the way we share them. You can always try substitutions.
I have used stone ground mustard in place of the Dijion mustard and they were delicious!

Want to try this recipe – do you brine your chops?
No, we sure don’t.
These were delicious and will go on my favorites in pork recipes. I have one question about the instructions for cooking, can an air fryer be used and if so, what temperature and time should I use? Thank you for all the wonderful recipes you share with us.
So glad you enjoyed them! You can always try an air fryer, I don’t have one so I cant advise.
A lot of us use air fryers these days, do you have a conversion chart for temp. and time? Love many of your recipes Leigh and Anne. keep ’em coming ladies.
I sure don’t, but it something I will look into and post soon. I have never used and air fryer but I know many of our followers love them.
EASY! TASTY! QUICK! What more do you want in a recipe. A definite winner! The only thing I did different was used bone in chops. Think they are more moist than boneless.
I had a tray of thin boneless pork chops & adjusted seasoning to what I had on hand – these came out perfect! Thanks so much for sharing!!
This was the best pork chops I’ve ever made. !
Wonderful! We’re thrilled they were a hit for you! Thank you for the kind review.
I noticed on the “Oven baked pork chops” you are using a cast iron skillet. (My favorite). should you preheat the skillet first? I am carving a pork loin soon and want to try this. please reply to my email. thanks
I do not preheat the skillet first. Thanks!
These are the best chops I think I’ve ever had! I used up all the Worcestershire sauce I had in a marinade the other day so I put some soy sauce in instead. Just great flavor.
Would it be okay to replace the molasses with corn syrup?
You can try it. I have not made it that way.
Thank you! We are in the process of moving and I am using ingredients that I already have in order to cook dinner for our helpers.
Hi, do you think you could replace the molasses with honey?
Yes, you probably could do that Jodi.
You might try regular mustard.
My 5 sons have enjoyed Everything that I have tried! Thank You a million times!

What does the molasses do? Could you use Maple Syrup instead?
Yes, I think you could use maple syrup. It just adds to the taste I think.
my first time of being here.. am truly enjoying looking at all the great recipes.. great job judy.. mary w.
Those pork chops look wonderful! The men in my house claim they don’t like pork chops, but I bet they would like these. I think I even have some gluten free bread crumbs in my freezer…I’m going to have to make these next week! Thank you!
